Climatic Data
2.1. Sources
A number of organizations or institutions publish their climatic data. The
following are the most well-known:
- Hadley Center and Climate Research Unit (CRU, of East Anglia
University).
- Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), of NASA.
- National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
- World Data Center for Paleoclimatology, (Boulder, Colorado), which is
also part of the NOAA.
Other bodies are more specialized, such as: the IRMB (Institut Royal
Météorologique de Belgique), PMOD (Physikalisch-Meteorologisches
Observatorium, Davos), LASP (Atmospheric and Space Physics at the
University of Colorado), CDIAC (Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis
Center), and so on.
We have not attempted to obtain all potentially available information, by
directly contacting authors, publishers, or institutes. Our objective is not to
be exhaustive, but to have a catalogue of climatic data which is
representative in its diversity.
